Murder of #StephonClark reveals so many rotten facets of U.S. policing:

1) anti-Black bias & assumption of violence/guilt
2) property damage warranting armed (potentially lethal) response
3) ZERO de-escalation practice
4) trigger-happy or unacceptably-fearful dept culture https://t.co/voTq2CVB0A

#StephonClark was shot twenty times and killed by the Sacramento Police on Sunday in his grandparent’s backyard.
What was he armed with?

A cell phone.

As a Black man,
A Dad,
A Husband,
A Son,
A brother,
A Human Being…

I am saddened and sickened by what happened to Stephon Clark.
It could happen to me. Or my sons.
THAT is why we kneel.
THAT is why we insist #BlackLivesMatter

STOP KILLING US.#StephonClark pic.twitter.com/yeFBwZh7MR

The Austin package bomber is a domestic terrorist

There's a serial bomber targeting black and brown people in Austin. https://t.co/ZPcUjve8xU

The Austin package bomber is a domestic terrorist who appears to be targeting African Americans and minorities. We need to stongly condemn both white supremacy and domestic terror, as they often go hand in hand.

Again, how the police chief talks about a young white man who terrorizes a city. Remember how they talked about innocent Black children like Trayvon, Tamir or young men like Freddy Gray.

This is Mark Anthony Conditt – the Austin Bomber. He is a terrorist.

I want you to imagine for just a moment if it was a Muslim man who bombed and murdered people all over an American city.

Then killed himself with a literal suicide bomb – injuring a cop in the process. pic.twitter.com/CiMzI2SUSt

The #austinbomber was a white, male 20-something conservative who said LGBT people were “unnatural” and also wanted the elimination of sex offender registries.

It’s more than clear he was a #DomesticTerrorist. Why won’t the media call him that?

Amid the relief everyone feels in Austin today, I hope this story—about how police initially treated the bomber’s first victim “like a suspect in his own death,” and failed to adequately investigate his murder or protect his family—does not get lost. https://t.co/e2IpscUBzA
